Nicolas Hodges appears at the BBC Proms 2019 in a performance of Messiaen’s Des Canyon aux étoiles.
Here he discusses the different ways birdsong sounds across the world, how eight weeks when he was a teenager made contemporary music inescapable, and what happens in the moment between the final note of a piece of music and the applause beginning.
The podcast is available on Audioboom or Spotify.
Recorded at Queen Elizabeth Hall foyer on Wednesday 23 July 2019.
